It&#x27;s no wonder many people look up to her, including <a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/06/02/18/cebu-teen-janine-berdin-wins-tawag-ng-tanghalan">&quot;Tawag ng Tanghalan&quot; winner</a> Janine Berdin. </p><p>But apparently there&#x27;s a very thin line between seeing someone as inspiration for your work, and trying to outright rip off their style. That&#x27;s the controversy Berdin, a teen from Cebu, had to face when she made an appearance on &quot;Tonight with Boy Abunda&quot; this Friday. </p><p>Asked if she&#x27;s &quot;copying&quot; Tandingan, she said: &quot;Maraming pong things na ginagaya ko kay ate KZ kasi idol ko po siya.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Pero not in the way na ginagaya ko po iyong style niya. In the way na ginagaya ko po iyong drive niya, iyong passion niya po na hindi susuko. At iyong pagka-atake niyang iba, gaya po ng ate KZ, iba rin po iyong atake ko,&quot; she explained. </p><p>She also recalled the time Tandingan made an impact in her life. </p><p>&quot;Iyong sinasabi niya po sa &#x27;X-Factor&#x27; noon na gusto niya i-prove na hindi lang mga biritera ang nasa music industry, parang nafi-feel ko po na ako iyong sinasabihan niya noon,&quot; she said. </p><p>Tandingan has already <a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/06/07/18/kz-nagsalita-sa-pagkukumpara-sa-kanila-ng-bagong-tawag-champ">reacted to the issue</a>, saying that she&#x27;s &quot;proud&quot; of Berdin&#x27;s achievements and insisting that she has &quot;her own style.&quot;</p>
